How Often Should Engine Service Be Completed?
Many vehicle service intervals are done on a mileage or time basis, with common intervals for oil changes ranging from 5,000 to 7,500 miles and spark plug replacements every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. Other services can vary greatly based on driving habits, with coolant flushes or injector cleanings done at different intervals depending on your daily operating conditions. Whether you drive your vehicle for work or weekend adventures, we encourage drivers to have a multi-point inspection conducted at least once a year for optimal safety, performance, and reliability.
Risks of Skipping Frequent Service
If you don't schedule routine service, you may run the risk of voiding your manufacturer's warranty or causing extensive damage. Dirty or contaminated oil can cause excessive wear and heat, which often results in damage to items like gaskets, crankshafts, pistons, and rods. Signs of engine trouble may include reduced fuel mileage, knocking or ticking noises, increased oil consumption, or Check Engine Lights.
